While many took to twitter or Instagram to honor Phife Dawg, one traffic reporter gave the phenomenal tribute to the late, great hero that absolutely no one saw coming. Arum, a reporter for Atlanta’s WSB-TV,worked a handful of Phife lyrics into his daily report. The clip is only made better by the fact that Arum is a gingham shirt wearing white guy who is probably someone’s uncle.

The deadpan delivery and overall absurdity is enough to make any Phife fan smile on this sad, sad day.
